According to this post, there was an exclusive showroom for Yamato Toys Club members during the 2009 Chara Hobby last weekend.

They posted a teaser of a new product of theirs in the post and said that despite it being put on display, photograph’s weren’t allowed to be taken.

While studying resin casting I was told that no release agent will be needed when making Silicone Rubber molds. Release agents are used to create a thin layer between mold and master(usually fluid) so that it will make it easier to remove the master from the mold once it has hardened.

Most of the time however I’ve noticed that with tight or small spaces of the master, the Silicone Rubber has a tendency to stick to it. It could be a case of just incorrect mixing with the hardener and Silicone Rubber, but the best way to ensure this from not happening is to use a release agent.

One of the problems I faced when making the top wing of the 1/60 Lancer II SF-3A scratch build project was the lack of scratch building materials in my region. I had wanted to use styrene sheets but because the local hardware stores didn’t carry it (there is no hobby shop in my place) I ended up using Polymer Clay.

I thought Yamato Toys had already stopped producing the 1/48 line of VF-1S given the redesign and success of the 1/60 series, then they come out with this.
